2 dead in Varnado quadruple shooting

Two people were fatally shot and two others wounded Friday night in Varnado.

Washington County Sheriff's deputies found the bodies of Denzell Wise and Brandon Alexander shot and killed inside a vehicle on Moses Road at about 10:30 p.m.

"I'm just wondering why anybody would want to take my baby's life," said Sylvia Alexander. "That's the only son I have. I don't know how I'm going to cope without him calling saying 'Mom, where y'at? Do this mom."

Alexander said her son, a father of three, was a church-going man who worked off shore and was never in trouble.

Clark Harry, the victim's father, thinks his son's life ended over a deal gone bad involving the sale of a four-wheeler.

Washington Parish Sheriff Randy "Country" Seal said several shell casings were found at the scene.

A third person, who was shot in the leg, ran through the woods for help. A fourth shooting victim remains hospitalized.

"I know these folks. They're my neighbors, so you can imagine the emotion and the charge that was felt here last night," Seal said.

These were the first two homicides reported this year in Washington Parish. No arrests have been made.
